Pink is everywhere. No matter where you look, you're sure to see the signs of soft pink and white blossoms. There's a fresh spark of life filling the air and just beckoning for everyone to come outside and enjoy the sweet scents of spring. Well, except for you, people with springtime allergies. They just want to make you miserable. But perhaps for everyone else, it was a wonderful amazing time to be had.



There are wonderful spots for picnicking! Frolic inducing atmosphere and the space to do it! Every so often you will see vendors selling treats for the event! Cosplayers taking advantage of their natural environments for photo ops! Hot date spots! Blossoms! Sparkles! Everywhere! Even when it rains.

This log is completely open! You can do whatever you'd like with whomever you'd like whenever you'd like. Just start up a thread and go!

Have fun! Don't forget to add your character to the entry tags! ♥

Zero made a vaguely amused snort that basically translated to, 'you're not fooling anyone.' Perfectly calm and collected people did not turn red and stiff when faced with a knowing look.

Neo Arcadian and Resistence - two roles that were basically defunct, both here and in their world. They became one and same the moment humankind made Area 0 their new home. And it was the same for the two of them. This was the first time they were really forced to cooperate, not because something was at stake, but simply for the sake of coexisting.

They were going to see a lot more of each other, like it or not. And while the reasonable solution would've been to try and become friends, the term felt too frivolous to cover the complicated ties that bound them.

After a pause, Zero questioned, "So... what now?" Harpuia seemed like the type to always have a plan. Not Zero's specialty - he only knew how to deal with whatever lay directly in front of him. He wasn't sure if it was even possible to pin down the future in this strange city, but maybe Neo Arcadia's great 'sage' thought differently.

That, at least, was a question Harpuia was used to hearing. One that he certainly never stopped asking himself. Fefnir and Leviathan might have been content to simply do whatever their moods dictated, but Harpuia had grown very used to having to juggle all the pieces of the big picture.

That said... it wasn't a simple question, not by any means. One he was still formulating an answer to for himself. But coming from Zero... that he would even ask Harpuia that felt strange. Harpuia didn't exactly have high hopes that Zero would ever do as he said, no matter how many bossy tendencies might have existed within him. For him to even be asked in the first place was most definitely nothing Harpuia had ever planned for. Certainly, he had begun to suspect that Zero was the sort who needed someone to place his belief in -- to do the hoping for him. But was Harpuia the sort of person that Zero was looking for...?

Harpuia laced his fingers together, gazing down at them pensively. "What you do is not my problem," he announced. No use in trying the high-handed diplomatic act when Zero had already shot it down; with all the pride Harpuia had built up around himself, he wasn't a likely candidate to lower himself to extending an olive branch too commonly. "But I expect that now, I..." He trailed off, not especially wanting to voice what he expected to happen. Even if only for a little while, he expected to stop.

He had been running more or less nonstop from the moment that Zero had struck Copy X down. He was a soldier, and a proud one at that, but he wasn't immune to what had been lost in that time. He hadn't once dared to pause long enough to mourn what remained of Phantom, to let the loss of Master X sink in -- he couldn't afford to waste a second on personal weakness.

But now, with Neo Arcadia in ashes and the number of Guardians reduced to two, he no longer had urgent objectives pressing in at all sides, but the weight of war pushed down twice as heavily. Like it or not, this roadblock forced him to take a moment to stop and catch his breath, and that inevitably meant things catching up with him. For all his trying, the heart that hummed within him was not as impenetrable as he had strove to make it. He would grieve, because he had lost things he'd loved dearly and vividly.

His voice was tight when he answered, taut under the effort of staying detached and professional. "For now, it falls to us to accept things as they are. It's wasteful to try and move forward before you're prepared."
